Voltage Quality Enhancement of a Distribution Network using Wind Turbine
Authors: Dipendra Giri, Bhrigu Raj Bhattarai
Abstract—Distribution system incorporate the residential, com- mercial and industrial system with different operating voltage. One of the main distribution system’s concerns is maintaining the voltage profile. This affects the performance of the consumer electronics and increases the power losses. Reducing power losses and delivering reliable power from the generating station to the consumer end is a challenging task. Nowadays, power systems are more complex due to the increasing loads. This paper discusses the impact of DFIG based wind turbine integrated into IEEE 33 test bus system and then to the Baluwatar distribution feeder of Maharajgunj substation. The simulation results were carried out in DigSILENT PowerFactory software and optimal size and location was optimized through MATLAB software. The PSO algorithms were used to determine the optimal location and size of multi-DFIGs to improve the voltage profile and minimize the total power loss of the distribution system. The minimum voltage was increasing significantly. PSO algorithm was found to be effective and reliable for improving the performance of a radial distribution system using multiple DFIG integrations.
